Kato Megumi smiled faintly and took out a golden paper talisman from her sleeve.

Whoosh!

The paper talisman suddenly ignited without fire, bursting into dazzling golden flames.

After the flames appeared, Xu Ming instantly felt most of the chilling sensation on his body dissipate.

What surprised him even more was that Kato Megumi's fingers, which were holding the paper talisman, showed no signs of burns.

Kato Megumi calmly smeared the burning paper talisman onto her right arm. Golden flames immediately spread across her right arm.

Then Kato Megumi stood in front of the morgue, her legs slightly bent and her left foot slightly forward.

Xu Ming was wondering what she was going to do.

Kato Megumi unleashed a lightning-fast right punch, slamming it heavily against the cabinet door!

boom!

A loud bang instantly echoed throughout the entire medical school building.

The golden flames on Kato Megumi's arm surged into the morgue.

"Ah~~!"

A bloodcurdling scream came from inside the morgue.

The next second, a red shadow with golden flames on its body swooped through the gap behind the morgue and disappeared along the wall into the ventilation duct above.

It was so fast that it was as if a killer was chasing it.

In fact, they're pretty much the same.

To ensure insulation, the stainless steel cabinet door, which is several centimeters thick and has a middle layer, is recessed inward, forming a round pit the size of a fist.

Xu Ming glanced at the pitiful cabinet door, then at Kato Megumi who was slowly retracting her small iron fist, and subconsciously swallowed.

He suddenly realized that his earlier act of rushing ahead seemed a bit... ridiculous.

Seemingly noticing Xu Ming's strange gaze, Kato Megumi smiled faintly and tucked her hands into her long sleeves.

"Kato-kun, you..."

"I only know a little bit about karate, is there a problem, Xu Ming?"

Kato Megumi looked at Xu Ming with a smile, her eyes almost squinting into slits.

Xu Ming suddenly shuddered and shook his head seriously.

"no!"

Kato Megumi didn't say anything, just looked at him with a faint smile on her face.

Xu Ming was horrified, terrified, and under immense pressure.

Xu Ming's gaze swept quickly across the morgue.

Suddenly, the metal mesh of the ventilation duct was broken and came into Xu Ming's view.

Xu Ming, as if grasping at a straw, immediately pointed to the metal mesh and said:

"She escaped into the ventilation duct, what should we do now?"

Kato Megumi gave him a meaningful look, then looked in the direction he was pointing.

The dusty, cobweb-covered metal mesh had been smashed open with a large hole, and dark brown bloodstains remained on the broken wires.

Looking at the gap in the metal mesh, Kato Megumi frowned slightly.

"This is getting a bit troublesome."

Unfortunately, everyone's previous suspicions came true.

Not only is it difficult to maneuver inside the ventilation ducts, but what's more troublesome is that the ventilation ducts are directly connected to the outside world, meaning the woman in red could escape at any time if she wanted to.

The woman in red was first given a "righteous photo" by Xu Ming, and then she was hit by a "punch through iron" by Kato Megumi.

If she still dares to run away like this, Xu Ming would definitely be willing to call her his 'best friend'!

Then just send her a selfie and send her to her death!

However, if she were to actually do that, she would be even more stubborn than Old Qi, oh no, Professor Miyano...

Xu Ming was suddenly jolted when he thought of Professor Miyano.

"Where's Professor Miyano?!"

It's really illogical that Professor Miyano hasn't shown up yet after causing such a commotion, unless... something happened to him too!

At this point, there was no time to hide anymore.

Xu Ming directly summoned 'Arita Haruyuki'.

A pink and tender pig kidney popped out.

"What do you need me for, Xu Mingjun?"

"You stay here and watch over him. I'll be right back."

Xu Ming pointed with a serious expression to Suzuki Tomohito, who was still unconscious.

Perhaps inspired by him, the little piglet immediately stood at attention and gave a military salute.

"No problem! Don't worry about it, leave it to me!"

Xu Ming, however, did not notice that Kato Kei was looking Arita Haruyuki up and down with a very strange gaze.

His gaze was somewhat like that of a butcher searching for the spot to strike before slaughtering a pig.

Her sleeves swayed slightly, and her hands, which were tucked inside her sleeves, seemed to move.

However, when Xu Ming looked at her, she immediately returned to normal.

"Kato-kun, let's go!"

Xu Ming greeted him.

Kato Megumi nodded and followed Xu Ming out of the morgue.

Until Kato Megumi's figure disappeared outside the door, the little piglet, who had been stiff all over, suddenly sat down on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Women with black hair are so scary!

Xu Ming and Kato Megumi eventually found Professor Miyano lying on the floor in the storage room; he too had fallen into a coma.

Xu Ming found some faded shell fragments next to him, making it clear who had attacked him.

Xu Ming dragged the two back to his office.

For some reason, Haruyuki Arita seemed a little nervous. Upon seeing Xu Ming return, he immediately asked to return to the 'Hyakki Yagyōshō'.

Xu Ming didn't think much of it and immediately recalled him.

"Xu Ming, I have good news and bad news..."

Kato Megumi suddenly spoke up.

Xu Ming waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter whether you say it first or later."

Kato Megumi covered her mouth and smiled slightly.

"I used magic to examine the scene and the traces on Professor Miyano's body."

The bad news is that the 'monster' has some troublesome abilities; the good news is that its abilities don't seem to be the type that causes direct damage.

"Ok?"

Xu Ming looked slightly puzzled.

"Professor Miyano was knocked unconscious."

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Sudden Darkness

Seeing that the two were still not awake, Xu Ming splashed some cold water on their faces.

The two of them soon woke up one after the other.

Faced with the 'bizarre' sights he witnessed firsthand, even the stubborn Professor Miyano had to lower his head.

Xu Ming explained the general situation to the two of them.

"...In short, we're in trouble now, and I suggest we back out."

Xu Ming concluded.

"No! We can't just leave like this. What if that ghoul destroys the remaining bodies? Those are important pieces of evidence sent by the police. I'll be held responsible if anything goes wrong!"

Professor Miyano refused without hesitation.

"Professor, I think Xu Mingjun's suggestion is very good. Let's leave first today; safety is the most important thing..."

Suzuki Tomohito then changed his stance and began to help Xu Ming persuade Professor Miyano.

After all, the connections, achievements, and honors of medical luminaries are not as important as their own lives.

"This……"

Suzuki Tomohito's persuasion seemed to have some effect, and Professor Miyano showed some hesitation on his face.

"Moreover, all three of us can testify for you that the destruction of the body was due to force majeure."

As he spoke, Suzuki Tomohito winked at Xu Ming and Kato Megumi.

Xu Ming nodded in understanding.

“If necessary, I will help the professor testify.”

"Me too."

Kato Megumi smiled faintly.

"OK then."

Professor Miyano finally gave in.

The four quickly packed up and prepared to leave the basement.
